Applied Information, Inc., a provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure technology has announced that Josh Rowan has joined the company as vice president of safety technology.
Rowan will lead Applied Information’s development and deployment of connected vehicle applications designed to improve the safety of vulnerable road users. These applications are designed to make VRUs more visible to motorists and make pedestrians more aware of vehicles that may pose a threat to safety.
“Josh’s experience in the public and private transportation sectors make him qualified to help Applied Information envision and develop innovative, usable and affordable products to reduce pedestrian injuries and deaths,” says Bryan Mulligan, president of Applied Information, Inc. “We look forward to his contributions and welcome him to the team.”
“Safety is my business! Having spent my engineering career delivering transportation infrastructure for local government, it is an absolute delight to be leading the development of technology solutions focused on protecting all users of our streets, especially our most vulnerable road users,” says Rowan.
As a 1996 civil engineering graduate from Georgia Tech, Rowan has spent most of his career focused on building and improving Atlanta’s transportation infrastructure. Having served as the City of Atlanta’s transportation commissioner under Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, he and his team implemented numerous safety initiatives for the city, including Vision Zero, the 2022 Infrastructure program, and the Light Up the Night safety initiative.
